Al Hilal vs Al Taawon

Al Hilal saw their Pro League title bid suffer a blow as Al Taawoun fought back to earn a dramatic 2-2 draw at Kingdom Arena on Friday night. The hosts dominated possession but were left frustrated by a resilient visiting side. Mohamed Meïté broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time (43'), giving Al Hilal a deserved lead at the break. But Al Taawoun turned the game on its head after the restart, with Andrei Girotto heading home twice in quick succession (55', 67') to put the visitors sensationally in front. Al Hilal needed a hero, and Marcos Leonardo delivered with a poacher's finish in the 77th minute to rescue a point and keep their unbeaten league run intact. The draw leaves Al Hilal five points adrift of leaders Al Nassr on 65 points with six rounds remaining. For Al Taawoun, a hard-earned point in Riyadh strengthens their grip on fifth place.
